Table 3018a. P42/mnm (D4h14, 136) space group.

Name in the International Tables for Crystallography
 P42/mnm (simplified from P42/m2l/n2/m: the symbol 42 means that an axis of the fourth order is a screw axis, with translation on half a period along this axis on rotation by angle π/2 or 360/4 degrees, and the symbol n means that two of the four vertical planes are planes of sliding reflection.)
